Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Rob.
Fancy a game of food connections, Rob.
So I'll name a place and you say the first food that comes to mind.
Ready?
Yeah, sure, let's go.
A pizza or lasagna?
New York?
Hot dogs, of course, or maybe bagels.
Now, how about Cornwall from the UK?
Oh, right.
If it's Cornwall, it must be the famous Cornish pasty, right?
That's right.
Cornwall, the region which forms the south-western tip of Britain,
is as famous for its pasties as New Yorkers for hot dogs.
In this program, we'll be finding out all about Cornish pasties,
and we'll hear how it's gone from humble beginnings to become a symbol of Cornish identity and spread around the world to Jamaica, Argentina and Brazil.
